It's Hard Out There

Hi y’all! I know it’s been awhile since I posted. Things are starting to settle down for the
summer. I’m still working two jobs from
8am to 9pm Monday-Thursday but believe it or not, the pace has slowed down
quite a bit. I manage to put on around 8
pounds in May with my birthday and the beach so I am feeling pretty
discouraged. I tried a plan of sorts on
my own but I am just not great at dieting unless I am counting. I have downloaded the app Lose It in lieu of
rejoining Weight Watchers to see how it goes.
I am holding off on rejoining Weight Watchers just for monetary
reasons. The Lose It app is cool because
you tell it what you weigh, what you want to weigh and when you want to weigh
that and it sets a calorie budget for you.
Each day, you go in and tell it what you have eaten and it removes the
calories for you. It has a ton of food
info stored already from restaurants and other products. You can also scan a barcode right in it. The only thing I haven’t quite figured out
yet is there a section called “net calories” that I’m not sure what to make
of. Hopefully this app will help me get
back on track. I will keep you up to
date. I want to lose 20 or so pounds
before football season. I just have to
quit allowing myself exceptions. Wish me
luck y’all…I’ve been struggling. I won’t
give up. I posted some pictures from the past couple of weeks below. I’ve done a lot! I also posted some videos on
Facebook that you can see if we are friends.
Because I’m working so much it’s hard for me to cook but hopefully I
will have some recipes and tips for you next week. I’ve also gotten lazier
about exercising. I’m still working out
5-6 days a week but not as hard as I was so it’s time to shape up! Let me know
if anyone has any advice.

I do the Lose It app---Love it!! down 65 lbs and counting......I think you will like it.. you can record your exercise also. I use runtastic to calculate exercise and then transfer calories burned to the Lose it app....You can do it! luv you, Brenda

About Me

I am what my Dad calls a healthy girl who is trying to be less...healthy? None of it makes sense but I am going to attempt to hash it all out here. I love my dog, my family and my friends. Seems silly to tell you much about myself since I will be telling you that sort of thing quite often.
